The President: (Portugal)
In the absence of the President, Mr. Kittikhoun (Lao People's Democratic Republic), Vice-President, took the Chair.
The meeting was called to order at 10.30 a.m.

Agenda item 3 (continued)

Credentials of representatives to the fiftieth session of the General Assembly

(b) Second report of the Credentials Committee (A/50/559/Add.1)
The Acting President

The draft resolution recommended by the Credentials Committee in paragraph 10 of its second report reads as follows:

"The General Assembly,

Having considered the second report of the Credentials Committee and the recommendation contained therein,

Approves the second report of the Credentials Committee."

We shall now take action on the draft resolution recommended by the Credentials Committee in paragraph 10 of its second report (A/50/559/Add.1).

The Committee adopted the draft resolution without a vote. May I take it that the Assembly wishes to do the same?

The draft resolution was adopted (resolution 50/4 B).
The Acting President

We have thus concluded this stage of our consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 3.

Agenda item 105 (continued)

Social development, including questions relating to the world social situation and to youth, ageing, disabled persons and the family

Note by the Secretary-General (A/50/728)
Draft resolution (A/50/728)
The Acting President

Members will recall that the Assembly concluded on 31 October the debate marking the tenth anniversary of International Youth Year.

The Assembly has before it a note by the Secretary-General circulated in document A/50/728, which contains a draft resolution entitled "World Programme of Action for Youth to the Year 2000 and Beyond".

The Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution.

May I take it that the Assembly decides to adopt the draft resolution?

The draft resolution was adopted (resolution 50/81).
The Acting President

I shall now call on those representatives who wish to explain their positions on the resolution just adopted. May I remind delegations that explanations of vote or position are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.

Mr. Pace (Malta)

In joining consensus on the final draft of the World Programme of Action for Youth to the Year 2000 and Beyond, Malta would like to state that in the implementation of such a Programme, it reaffirms and recognizes the responsibilities, rights and duties of parents and legal guardians to provide, in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child, appropriate direction and guidance in the child's exercise of the rights recognized in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The delegation of Malta would also like to state that it reserves its position on the use of the term "reproductive health" as used in different parts of this Programme of Action and on related services and needs. The interpretation given by Malta is consistent with its national legislation, which considers the termination of pregnancy through induced abortion as illegal.

Malta further reaffirms its reservations on the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, the Declaration and Programme of Action of the World Summit for Social Development, and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action of the Fourth World Conference on Women, as contained in the respective reports of these conferences.

My delegation would like to have this position reflected in the records of this meeting and in the final report.

Mr. Hamida (Libya)

My country has joined the consensus on the final draft of the World Programme of Action for Youth to the Year 2000 and Beyond. However, we should like here to voice our reservations on paragraphs 56, 57 and 58, which refer to providing reproductive health services for adolescents. Such services, in our view, should be provided only under the supervision of parents, as agreed at previous world conferences.
